To create one double, dotted, final, or other barline

1. Click the Measure tool  , and double-click the handle of the barline you want to change. The Measure Attributes dialog box appears.
2. Click the desired barline type. When you select any unusual barline type, Finale automatically selects Break a Multimeasure Rest; that’s so that, when you extract parts, the special barline will break a multimeasure rest (or “block rest”) into two block rests, one on each side of it. (Such block rests automatically break for key and time changes, clef changes, and so on.)
3. Click OK.
